Our fish and chip van hire in GU23

Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Typical bookings include weddings, especially the evening and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, serving curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips.

When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event.

Planning a chip van in GU23

Across GU23, we serve 3 towns and 6 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from West Horsley, Send and Burntcommon to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.

Send: If guests are travelling by rail, Clandon station is about 2.2 miles away. For a fundraiser at a school like Send CofE Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. In Send, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

The length of service

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

Where you’d like the van to go
How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
The date and time of the event
Rough numbers for adults and children

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Lighting nearby for evening events

Allergies and dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Confirm allergies by email
Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.

About the food

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

How does fish and chip van hire work?

We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

Can the van park on grass?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

Can the van park on the street?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
